Isolate runtime deps

[bbatsov]

lein-ancient's dependencies might interfere with a project's own dependencies. It'd best to isolate its runtime dependencies using a tool like https://github.com/benedekfazekas/mranderson or https://github.com/jafingerhut/dolly

Those look interesting. I'll have a look.
Thanks!

Btw, here's the PR that got this integrated into cider-nrepl clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl#183

Might be useful as well.

I think I'm running into this issue.

With :pedantic? :abort and plugins that include both [lein-ancient "0.6.9-SNAPSHOT"] and [lein-figwheel "0.5.2"], I get the error:

Possibly confusing dependencies found:
[lein-ancient "0.6.9-SNAPSHOT"] -> [org.clojure/tools.reader "0.10.0"]
 overrides
[lein-figwheel "0.5.2"] -> [figwheel "0.5.2"] -> [org.clojure/clojurescript "1.7.228" :exclusions [org.apache.ant/ant]] -> [org.clojure/tools.reader "1.0.0-alpha1"]
 and
[lein-figwheel "0.5.2"] -> [figwheel-sidecar "0.5.2"] -> [org.clojure/clojurescript "1.7.228" :exclusions [org.apache.ant/ant]] -> [org.clojure/tools.reader "1.0.0-alpha1"]

Consider using these exclusions:
[lein-figwheel "0.5.2" :exclusions [org.clojure/tools.reader]]
[lein-figwheel "0.5.2" :exclusions [org.clojure/tools.reader]]

My workaround is to put into ~/.lein/profiles.clj:

:ancient {:pedantic? true ;; warnings but don't abort
          :plugins [[lein-ancient "0.6.9-SNAPSHOT"]]}

And run ancient with lein with-profile +ancient ancient.

This also has the side benefit of not loading lein-ancient's deps when doing normal development/production lein tasks.

Dependency isolation has landed in 0.6.10.
